　　I entered St．Thomas’s Hospital as a medical student at the age of 18 and spent five years there．I was an unsatisfactory student, for my heart, as you might have guessed, was not in it．I wanted, I had always wanted to be a writer, and in the evening, after my high tea, I wrote and read．Before long I wrote a novel called “Liza of Lambeth ”, which I sent to the publisher and was accepted．It appeared during my last year at the hospital and had something of a success．It was of course an accident, but naturally I didn’t know that．I felt I could afford to give up medicine and make writing my profession．So three days after I graduated from the school of medicine, I set out for Spain to write another book．Looking back now and knowing as I do the terrible difficulties of making a living by writing, I realize I was taking a fearful risk．It never even occurred to me．

　　The next ten years were very hard and I earned an average of ￡100 a year．Then I had a bit of luck．The manager of the Court Theatre put on a play that failed．The next play he had arranged to put on was not ready and he was at his wits’ end．He read a play of mine and, though he didn’t like it very much, he thought it might just run for the six weeks till the play he had in mind to follow it with could be produced．It ran for fifteen months．Within a short while I had four plays running in London at the same time．Nothing of the kind had happened before．I was the talk of the town．One of the students at St．Thomas’s Hospital asked the famous surgeon with whom I had worked whether he remembered me．“Yes, I remember him quite well”, he said．“One of our failures, I am afraid”．

Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the Women’s Liberation Movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.

In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She also was quite skillful as a painter.

It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn’t like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field―physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.

Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much. He specially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.
